Gilmore Girls: A Year Of More Loose Ends

ASP left me with more questions than answers in the series revival.

Gilmore Girls: A Year Of More Loose Ends
Hello Giggles

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life has been a long time coming and highly anticipated by Gilmore fans both old and new. As November rolled around, I was eager to see the revival and hoped it would live up to my expectations. I was also anxious to see just who I could bum a Netflix password from, else I would have to use that free trial month and remember to cancel my subscription before I got charged, but I digress.

As someone who didn't watch Gilmore Girls growing up, I must admit I did not know what all the hype was about coming from my friends who were long-time fans. But then, Gilmore Girls came to Netflix and I was instantly hooked. I binge watched all seven seasons, taking part in the joy and experiencing the grief as the fictional years in Stars Hollow passed by. And when it was over, I felt a sense of loss, and emptiness at not knowing what was going to happen next. I instantly took to Google and read every article I could. While there were mentions of a movie here and there, nothing was concrete and nothing seemed promising.

But then there it was. The first hint of the revival. It was just a thought, and no one knew if it would come to fruition, but after months and months, it finally did. And the countdown began.


So after months and months of waiting, it was finally here. I did not get through all four episodes in one day, which caused many of my friends to feel disdain since they had to wait to discuss it with me. But Saturday rolled around and I finished "Summer" and "Fall." "Winter" and "Spring" definitely left me wanting more and I needed to know what the last four words were, so I watched, almost straight through.

My "Summer" I was concerned. Where was Jess, and Dean, and Sookie? Why weren't these major characters who I loved so much making a bigger appearance? Was Rory going to end up with anyone? And what about Lorelei and Luke? Were they going to part ways, breaking my heart again? Nothing made sense. Nothing.

Then "Fall" rolled around and some loose ends got tied up. But as is the Gilmore way, even more loose ends were created. I am reeling from the conclusion of the revival, and I am not quite sure how I feel about it. I wanted answers, and I feel as though I only got more questions. And like the conclusion of the original series, I don't think these questions will be answered anytime soon, if ever.

What did you think of the new Gilmore Girls revival? Did it live up to the hype or are we left with the same dissatisfaction the conclusion of season seven left us with?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
